sarcastic6 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm not convinced the surround setting is fixed -- mine jumped back today to stereo and I'm 99.8% sure it was on surround yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boat Racer Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 This bug doesn't bother me too much as I can't tell any sound quality improvement in "surround" mode vs. just in stereo mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkan Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 This bug doesn't bother me too much as I can't tell any sound quality improvement in "surround" mode vs. just in stereo mode. I notice a HUGE difference, and I'm no audio snob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcastic6 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Really seems to depend on the source. Something already heavily compressed (Sirius, I'm looking at you) isn't going to sound much different and has the potential of sounding even worse. Probably the same with streamed audio.

The USB sounds great with the Surround. Sirius, not so much. FM also sounds a bit better. I also agree that it might not be fully fixed, but so far, I have kept it set on Surround and it has stayed on Surround. I'll keep an eye on it.

akirby Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I didn't like surround at all so I just keep it on stereo anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I observed that it consistanly would not stay in surround when I went from radio to usb and vise versa. Also would change back if left on usb upon car shutdown and later restart. That was the predictable behavior. If left in radio it usually stayed, but not always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsoom Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I saw the surround option when I first picked up the car, but it was gone a few days later. Is this something that works with the MFT audio system on the FFH SE? Where is the setting, because all I see now in the audio setting is driver, all, the button to move the sound center of focus, and the speed compensation for loudness.

Mbtauber Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Don't think surround sound is fixed. Just picked up my car from the dealer because MFT crashed and had that bad smell from the AC, Etc. repaired MFT and did the update. I changed to surround sound and went home. Just went out and it changed back to stereo. Car goes back into service in a month to have the recall done and needed a new gas tank to fix the poor mileage/DTE zero....based on one of the TSB's. 2013 titanium, 8.500 miles on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RRF985 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Mine does not stay in Surround either. The option is in the sounds settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
http Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yep. I thought it was staying set on Surround, but it's been switching back to Stereo when I turn off the car. Oh, well. I still like the new voice command prompt system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadman64 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Mine has stayed in surround for a couple days now...*knocks on wood* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camride Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It still won't show the update for me. Anyone want to upload the file somewhere so I can grab it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSPFusion Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Mine does not stay in Surround mode, and I wish that it would. Topic perhaps worthy of its own thread, I have an Ipod Classic with 100 gb of content. It is constantly re-indexing it and rebuilding voice commands, even when I have not made any changes to the Ipod. Has anyone run into this and found a fix? Prior to my Ford my old car had a Pioneer Avic, based on the same Microsoft technology. With that system you could turn indexing on and off. When off, it used the old index and voice command file. The new voice command prompts are an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RRF985 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Do you have a link for the Hybrid version? Negative. However, I was just informed by Ford that if you are not showing an update to run a Vehicle Health Report. That supposedly will fix the issue and show you an update. Not sure if it works or not but worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSKershaw Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I have a Hybrid and when I go to Syncmyride it's showing as available. It doesn't look like I need a new NAV SD Card for this update either. I will update tonight during my drive home and report back tomorrow.

I got the update installed yesterday on the way home (it took a solid 30 minutes) and now haven't had a chance to drive it yet. I'll be looking forward to checking it out tomorrow though.

Barsoom Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 There must be a bug somewhere, because the option disappeared completely from my car after a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camride Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well I have noticed absolutely no different in sluggishness loading screens. Most of the other changes weren't a big deal for me (minus being able to touch the entire quadrant on the home screen to get into a section) so I was really hoping the interface would have been snappier. Oh well, I guess I'll just hope the next update is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy314 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I assume I can get this done at the dealer when they are installing accessories I ordered with the car (from 2 months ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
